Notes  Diet: suspension feeding. Captures minute particles of food on their collars and ingesting them. [details]

Habitat: benthic  [details]

Predators: generally for group, most predators (crabs and other invertebrates), find sponges distasteful either because of a presumably offensive odor or because of their spicules. Predators do include littorinid snails and nudibranchs. [details]

Reproduction: Asexual reproduction by buds and gemmules and sexual reproduction (internally) by eggs and sperm; free-swimming cilated larvae (in general, most species are believed to be hermaphroditic but may not produce male and female gametes simultaneously). [details]

Taxonomy: used to be called Cliona vastifica [details]
